A delegation from the Bidar Chamber of Commerce and Industries has urged the State government to provide reservation for people of the Hyderabad Karnataka region in proportion to their population in the State.
“As much as 21 per cent of the population of Karnataka lives in Hyderabad Karnataka districts. Therefore, the quantum of reservation should be 21 per cent, in proportion to their population, B.G. Shetkar, BCCI president, said in a memorandum submitted to the Cabinet subcommitte headed by H.K. Patil, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, in Gulbarga on Monday.
Students from these six districts should be provided reservation in higher education institutions outside the region, he said. According to him, the present provision for reservation is inadequate as it speaks of reservation only within Hyderabad Karnataka districts.
It should instead be based on the Telangana model where students from Telangana get reservation in higher education institutions outside Telangana districts.
He said that a similar pattern should be followed in recruitment also. All posts of the State cadre should have provision of 21 per cent reservation for candidates from Hyderabad Karnataka. Similarly, 79 per cent reservation should be provided to Hyderabad Karnataka candidates in divisional, district and taluk-level cadres, he said

A media group owner has said something interesting. ``All Muslims are not terrorists. But all terrorists are Muslims. I don’t see why we should be afraid of accepting such facts’’. The high profile entrepreneur and journalist made the statement at a music performance in Hubli. What is even more interesting is that there were some Muslims among the guests and performers!  I thought I would add here, some facts that such people may not be afraid to accept.  Intelligence agencies of India , USA , UK , and other countries have identified nearly 125 global terror outfits. Half of these have Christian cadres. The motto of some such organizations is to convert the world into ``The Promised Land’’. A third of these have Muslim cadres. Some say they are fighting a Holy War. Some media organizations call them Islamic terror outfits. At least 10 % of those listed are fighting for rights of tribes. There are at least 10 agencies on the list t

Gowda and Gore

By -
I chose this title because I wanted to sound strange and confusing. Yesterday over lunch, I got to know former US vice president Al Gore won the Peace Noble for his environmental campaigns. I was busy and could not think much about it. I had heard about Al Gore’s film on snow animals. The only other thing I could recall about him was the way he introduced himself to students in a US university. ``I am Al Gore. I used to be the next President of the US’’. For me, that smelt of Narcissism. But when I went home yesterday night, I began watching TV to get details. I hopped between channels that were speaking to Al Gore and the one that was speaking about former Indian Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda. Then it struck me. How a former vice president of a resourceful country can smoothly go out of politics in that country and how some one like Gowda could remain an undying irritant in Indian politics. About how a not so young man can comfortably forget the luxuries of the White House and go film
